An interlaced-scan sends information to each pixel in the even-numbered rows of pixels on a screen, left to right and then top to bottom. Then it sends information to odd-numbered rows. This results in a slightly distorted picture, as the component parts of the image do not all appear on the television screen at exactly the same time. The 1080i (interlaced) high-definition standard is an interlaced-scanning standard.
